The 2009 Spike Video Game Awards currently taking place in Los Angeles have today been the place where 4 different gaming franchises have been announced/confirmed/first seen!
First came an announcement by Activision and United Front Games for a third instalment in the True Crime series. The first was set in Los Angeles, the second in New York but this new one will leave the good old US-of-A to set sail for the shores of Hong Kong on an undercover mission to infiltrate the Triads. Release is so far slated for 2010.
Next, Samuel L Jackson took the stage to confirm Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 but unfortunately it was just that, a confirmation with no gameplay footage and no release date for it. (Although pre-Christmas 2010 seems more than likely at this stage).
Third was a first look at some footage for the next in the Medal Of Honour series which, as was announced last week, will be set in the modern age in Afghanistan. The shown trailer was very crisp and very pretty and bears a very strong resemblance to another recent, very successful shoot-em-up that some of you may have heard of? Best place to watch is here.
And last but not least (for now) was an announcement of a sequel to runaway hit Batman: Arkham Asylum. According to the trailer, it seems as if Arkham can no longer contain Gotham’s best and brightest scumbags and so the battle has poured out onto the streets, plus it looks as if some old friends are guaranteed to be in it! A website has also popped up for the new title, for now it is empty but we will keep an eye on it for any more details as they come.
Well, what a day so far! We will make sure to update you all on any new information on any titles as we get it!
The airwaves have been silent the past 2 weeks, there is reason!
